In addition to the answers provided already, there are several great traditional restaurants within 10 - 25 minutes walk. Taxis and local buses are cheap and there is a good waterpark and great sand sculpture park within a short ride away. Gale is a much quieter resort than Albufeira (we prefer Gale) but you can easily spend a day in Albufeira for a bit more 'excitement'?
